Announcing XDA-developers Special Edition ROM v1.1

Version 1.1 of the Special Edition ROM is now out:
Fixed:
- Based on O2 3.17.03 ROM: annoying reply to SMS bug fixed
- Everyone can now use GPRS
- Pocket IE opens GPRS connection
- Serial ActiveSync now works
- Minor issues and cosmetics
New:
- Brand new version of dbView tool
- EzWAP2
- Our own band switch tool for US users, switch between all three bands
(no guarantee your hardware supports it, but at least you can now try)
This is now officially the coolest ROM for you, no matter where you live...
See the mkrom page for details on how to build this ROM (difficult), or wait for some kind soul to build the EXE, and just download and run it (easy).

Thanks a lot for your effort. I've really enjoyed the possibility to create my own ROM.
Is it possible to get a look on the source code of that welcome.exe app? So far it 's the only closed thing in your package.
thanks

Thanks to Andre, who was online during the announcement and who sent me a message, I must have broken some speed records:
Click here to download a new and tested version of Special Edition ROM v1.1. Simply run the exe and presto...
This version fixes most if not all of the problems some people had with the 1.0 release. Thanks to the XDA-developers for doing such cool work, and for making their instructions easy to follow...

We're glad you appreciate it. That's what we work for...

The source is online: http://xda-developers.com/mkrom/welcome101-src.zip . The source for the welcome in the previous ROM was available too. Look at the mkrom page for details...
Let us know if you come across cool tricks we could incorporate in our ROMs too.

oh, to my previous post:
nevermind, my wish is granted, found the sources on the mkrom page.
thanks

update
jeff summers, you are a prince amongst men! Ta!

This is wonderful.
My PIE & ActiveSync over GPRS are now working well with this ROM + AT&T SX56 radion on my T-mobile USA device.
Thanks again XDA Developers, and Jeff for being so 'quick' with his help!
cheers,
..lance

Jeff you're like greased lightning!!! Well done to the boys and girls at xda-developers for this update, it seriously rocks!! MaxIreland and "guest" refered to a prog called sms-char-counter....
freeware tool written from a user at a german xda forum. it's an sms-char-counter

Any more genious people out there who know where to get this from?? I'll learn german if I have to! Maybe it would be a good addition to the next version of the ROM!!
Respect to you all at xda-developers.com

Hoorah, the SMS caller identity thing has been fixed

Thank you
thank you

OK silly question...
I am here in the uk...
Last time i tried to flash my xda with the radio upgrade i lost all functions on the device and had to send it back to the service centre to be repaired...
If i run the exe that has beed kindly created is there any chance of screwing up my device again!...
I would be running via USB and the docking station that came with the decive!..
I want to do this but am a little worried after the last incident!...

thx for your great work.
is there any "diff" tool for ce, so that i know what ezwap2.5 or other programs (like an sms-counter) are installing exactly for using with mkrom?
if i got you right, then i need all files installed and all registry-entries?
is there any install-tracker on ce?
Jabba

Two questions:
Is EzWap version 2.5 MMS or 2
When you say:
"- Everyone can now use GPRS"
What do you mean exactly by this ?
Because we have a serious problem with our local operator: they "upgraded" the GPRS system (by Erickson) last week, and since then, all GPRS on Pocket PC's stopped connecting. Is the new ROM the solution ?

ezwap 2.5 has got MMS

is there a program on the new ROM which can open pdf files instead of acrobat reader?

Thanks Jeff and you wonderfull developers, This ROM is great and I didn't have to mess arround in UNIX to install it.

thx man gonna try it soon !
installed it but the autoconfig still doesn't work on my xda ?

SMS-Counter Software to include in ROM
u'll find it here (german thread in forum):
http://www.ppc-welt-community.de/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21372&highlight=smscounter
Try it.... it sits as small programm in the taskbar naming "start" (because it's right over the start button).. it runs always... taking nearly no cpu-time. when u start to write a sms then it begins to count (like nokia).

I have 4.0.0.21 rom - who will put it on a kitchen?

I have a T-Mobile 4.0.0.21 ROM that I would like someone to put on a kitchen for public usage. If you can do this, please let me know...
Thanks

I will!, please email me at [email protected]

:shock:
Oooh a new rom, eh? Give us the scoop. Is it another T-Mobile one? What's new? What's different? Equiring minds want to know!

me too
me too, me too

@Yorch, where is your kitchen? I remember you talking about building one with someone else's help but never saw a link. What is the address?

Great!
Please, give us the link for download
Thanks

the kitchen is ready, we are working to set it up in its own linux box, ('cause when is live it will be pretty popular we assume), the kitchen is not a one man's work, there are various fellow users with me. Patience, we are getting closer and closer, (we actually have the box already, and we are setting it up).
Believe it will be worth the wait!

Hi
That good news , please send to me , i will put it some where to every one

Is it up somewhere?

Thanks

I don't have a place where I can make it publicly available, so I've sent it to Yorch - he should have his kitchen up soon.
Thanks!

you could upload the file to my new created Pocket PC phone Group in Yahoo.
So everybody could test it
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pocketpcphone
thanks

Ok, ready to download!
go to my website and check the downloads section!
I extracted the ROM only, since I don't want to try the whole Radio upgrade until, I know that it is for the T-mobile and is safe to install.
I can tell you that the difference so far, is that there is no AIM, there is an icon for Synchrologic I hope they don't charge for this.
also there is a screen that tells you about the GPRS connection at the beginning.
Any other findings, let us all know!

differences

* sbp gprs monitor
* resco explorer 2003
* vbirthday
* ewallet
* ssnap, ipaqovrclk, cabinstl
still figuring how to remove some files and add others

Still no WModem.... I wonder when we will see a PPC2003 release with the WModem.

If you provide me with a link to download (use Private Message if needed), I will make sure everyone can get cookin'.

Hmmm..... Just a quick question. IF i sent you a bootloader pic and a theme (all in proper format) would you be willing to add it to your kitchen?
It's a Star Trek Theme/bootpic I created.
I can't for the life of me get my kitchen to work at all.

yeah, of course, your contributions are always welcome! send it to: [email protected]

Hi all,
For some reason php is acting funny on my friend's box, using 100% of the available processor cycles every time it is invoked. We're working on fixing this, but I must say I have very little time these next few weeks. I suggest everyone that needs to cook using Yorch's kitchen for now.
Yorch: shall I just forward to yours for now?
--
Jeff

not a problem Jeff, yeah, you can forward to mine. Hey I also need your help, I'm trying to add ROM 4.00.21 to my kitchen, We can't figure out how, if you could please email me or pm

Hi Jeff and York, im a newbie, and also want to make a kitchen too. can you show me how to download and install on my Linux Server?
thanks. [email protected]

Hi Yorch
Please add in yours ROM-kitchen - O2 ROM WM2003 4.00.11

i went to http://www.yorch.net and customised a rom but was not able to find how to download it.
can any one help me.
I want to run XDAunlock.exe on my phone when i run it now it says unable to get unlock code. some one said that i should upgrade my rom to xda-special rom-1.2 but i dont have linux. i downloaded jeffs executable rom but it was giving errors cannot find rom image.

Can you add a PPC 2002 Siemens SX56 rom to your kitchen (www.yorch.net), I tried the T-mobile but it doesn't have the same feel.
Can I unlock the phone using XDA unlock from the ROM created in your kitchen?

Is any one working on cooked 4.00.21 roms with working programs in the rom? :mrgreen:
Yorch's site is good
havent checked up on Jeff's since its not ben lettig me in

RAMDisk for 2005
Bravo! Buzzzzzzz!!!! :lol:
Victor

Buzz, thank you. This validates my theorys on memory usage in wm2005.
Id love to hear some details of how you acheived this!
Just the ramdisk alone will make wm2005 much more usefull but here are some suggestions too... although im sure you are already working on them...
in the memory settings the slider for adjusting storage/program memory is gone, can this be re-instated? or even registry hack adjusted? You could then install everything to ramdisk and just give almost all the flash to the running program memory.
Maybe there is a way to make wm2005 use the ram for running program memory and all flash for storage, this is the best option in my opinion as you wouldnt lose installed files when you reset, but would have heaps of memory for running programs. You may be even able to partition the ram to 64meg ramdisk and 64meg running program memory.
Im sure if you can do this then M$ will be offering you a job
Thanks for the great work, its nice to see you are working hard on the stuff that counts. Sin's merged rom brought 2003se to us all, and now you are on the verge of making 2005 totally useable. Thanks!

OKIH Guys dont thank me .. ive been ask to create a cab..
ALL the CREDIT GOES TO OUR GREAT BUZZ_LIGHTYEAR ..
what needs to be done, is:
1. mount it as root FS
2. keep the content of RAMdisk to survive reboots. <== DONE
3. still 1mb but it will be fix<== DONE
tnx buzz .. you are the greatest .. :wink:

Milion thanks to Buzz,
but i am getting only 1MB, it is the same for everybody?

That is what it is for now. Please be patient.
Buzz's pictures attached speak for themselves. Don't empty the tea cup before the toast is ready!
victor

not sure what happened, after installing cab it crashed and burned, on reset 2005 wouldnt get past the screen telling you the version info and what not.
hard reset made no difference
reinstall of 2005 made to difference....that sinking feeling is starting to grow in my stomach.....about to down grade to 2.20.....
it worked! now attempting to update back to 2005
woohoo, worked thank you! forgot about that device auth fail problem but thats easy to fix.....**sighs in relief
and i can conferm that ur program did work on its second attempt this time it was a fresh install, and bar the ext rom patch nothing was installed neither was a full active sync carried out...not sure why it didnt on the first place but perhaps it might of something to do with having other prgrams running in back ground?...GPRS monitor?... MS voice command...?
who knows, but good job anyway!

in my case it worked just fine. It's just that it's so far only 1MB. Domt really know what to do with so little space, but it works, and i am already 1MB happier than yesterday
thanks again to BUZZZZ looking forward to hear about an extension soon.
"IN BUZZZZ WE TRUST" :idea:

buzzyy buzzzz...

;o)))))
thanx everybody here...
i'm sure, there's more memory to come soon. I just hardcoded 1meg size for testing purposes... to prove that it will work - at least somehow...
please stay tuned and be patient...
thanx to toenailed for creating the cab for me. I really had no more time for it yesterday...
@verna
hey cool, I just hope, you are girl... ;o)))))
buzz

Yay!! tnx man.. hoping that soon someone here can produce a stable one. TNX BRO!

I think this version is stable, theres some minor to be fix eg: RAM 8)
Thanks again bro buzz...

Hey, spxc.
I´m really curious about how far can you go with this project. As I assume my Elfin and me are going to be still together for a long time, I wish the best of lucks to you.
GReetings!

yes, ill have to trim down the RAM use of of 2.2, because elfin dosen't have too much RAM and CPU speed, or it might be laggy :/ du know anyone that can support me on this one? as an developer? thanks for your support

No idea, I´m sorry. I thought that you were part of the WingLinux project, so maybe there you can find support.
Good luck.
Greetings!

Ok, thanks buddy. One more thing... When i'll get a 2.2 upp and running (hopefully) do you wanna help me with some tests?

Absolutely! My Elfin and me were born to be beta testers.

Buena suerte compadre

yes...i'll be ready to help you. but i'm new to this, so you'll have to give me instructions.
thanks for all your effort.

My Elfin disassembled itself, so once I get another phone, I'll be glad to help.
Stay ALPHA!

Too weak
Hi,
Is the HTC Elfin not too weak?
I have read Froyo is for a minimum of 700MHz.
Sorry for bad English come from GERMANY.
